When Carol here mentioned the name of Sternberg, then I would like to add
more about Sternberg..Sternberg has developed tests to measure the
creative and practical sides of the mind. Some schools and business use
them, and Sternberg has published work showing their predictions value in
subsequent tasks, but they have yet to gain much acceptance in the
mainstream testing business.
